Boy! Food Here and There!

2008-05-12T15:25:00.003-06:00

Aside from attending ocassions, visiting places, strolling the malls and hitting cafe...restaurants is the place I'd love to be! Food that can't be found in US is something I crave for! Although it's possible to cook it there, but having it here is totally different...it taste even better eating it with friends and family! I might need some diet pills after munching all day and chowing down everything I see.hehehehe! I'll surely miss all the food here and I still have lots to crave for! Fruits and fish are fantastic here! Ok, I better stop braggin' about it and start eating my breakfast *wink*

Belated Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-11T15:46:00.002-06:00

I know it's late but I just wanted to greet every mothers out there! I was really busy yesterday so, I didn't have time to at least greet all my mother friends but to those who remembered me and left me greetings on my other blog, thank you! We celebrated mother's day at a nature resort here in town, was planning to go to Pearl Farm but with the rainy condition here, we thought it might not be a good idea...I have the day filled with things to do and even the days ahead of me so, not sure if I can blog hop that much. If you happen to visit here, thank you so much! I'll return the favor when I go back home!

One Thing is For Sure

2008-05-05T09:47:00.002-06:00

...that I don't do drugs or smoke! Even alcohol, I might drink once in a great while but not excessively! I know some people doesn't have a control and ends up drinking a lot or even have an addiction to drugs or alcohol. If you know someone, a best way to help that person is to suggest a good and reputable drug rehab. It is the best option that one can possibly take to see if it works for them and it can probably be the answer to get away from the addiction if you have the determination to free yourself from addiction and you go through the whole process! I'm just hoping that I will never go through such an ordeal with any of my loved ones!

Where's My Credit Card?!

2008-05-01T09:27:00.003-06:00

I just remember all of a sudden about my latest discussion with hubby in getting a new credit card. I was just asking him to buy me my tickets for the domestic flight then he suggested that he'll set me up with Capital One Credit Card with no interest charge for using it abroad. That's what we hate about our credit cards, last time I used it in the Philippines, stores charged me 6% and some even 10%! It's ridiculous! We hate paying interest and I'm sure you do too! We try to keep just one credit card so, to manage our finances well and not have some debt troubles. BUT where's that credit card now? I think with hubby's busy schedule, he forgot to request one! Well, even if he is that unorganized what I like about hubby is being wise enough to set an amount limit so, not to get overboard and just purchase anything that we might not need to pay now but of course, you have to pay that monthly. He believes that if you cannot pay it in cash, that means you cannot afford it and I think he is right! BUT we are always entitled to our own opinion and principles in life. It doesn't mean it's wrong to have a credit card, as a matter of fact I have two and hubby doesn't know I got a bigger amount limit for my other card,LoL! Well, I'm sure he knows, he just don't mind it as long as I'm paying,hehehehe! For others out there who would like to acquire credit card but has a bad credit history, one option to look at is an unsecured credit cards for bad credit!

If you have bad credit, you know how hard it is to find a decent credit card. After a short investigation of the market of bad credit cards one can see that this type of plastics is not quite beneficial. Banks tend to apply high interest rates and a lot of fees to bad credit cards, making it really hard to find an affordable deal. We introduce a variety of credit card for people with bad credit at our site. The list of products was collected by experts, that is why we can assure you that we present the most beneficial cards for low credit rating. To find the best card you should compare the cards’ features and choose those which meet your spending habits. Unfortunately, bad credit cards rarely provide rewards or zero interest. However, this type of cards will not give you a high credit limit, so, making a moderate balance, you will pay it out rather fast. Do not despair if your credit score makes you eligible for no better than bad cards. If you are accurate and loyal cardholder, you can ask the bank to lower the interest rate of your card or give you a more beneficial plastic.

Playing Tea Party!

2008-05-01T09:25:00.003-06:00

That's what the kids are doing right now. They have all the cups and other toys in one table and playing along, pretending they have drinks and cookies and sandwiches. I'm just glad they can all get along well. It made me laugh when Katie was making all these sounds pretending she loves the food!hehehe! Kids imagination always amaze me and it's really good for them! I just love seeing my kids having a great time and not being bored...

Clean Fresh Air!

2008-05-01T09:18:00.003-06:00

That's what we all need, right? BUT being inside our homes, having pets and bringing dirt from outside to inside...I'm sure we are not getting clean air! That is why there are air purifiers out there to help filter the dirt and release a clean air. This is really important for those who got asthma and allergies. I got a friend whose son suffers from many allergies and it helps him avoid asthma attacks by just having an ion air purifiers in their house! Better get one if you want to breathe clean fresh air!!!

Baby Sitting

2008-05-01T09:16:00.003-06:00

That's what I should be doing instead I'm blogging away here! Well, as long as I know what the kids are doing I don't think my friend minds it! Having 4 kids is not an easy task so, I gotta keep an eye on them but I've been doing this many times now and I'm glad she set up this pc right here in their basement with all the toys so, the kids and I can both play,LoL! Later on, I'll be fixing up our lunch and get one kid ready for her school so...gotta keep movin' now!

Going Green!

2008-04-30T20:46:00.002-06:00

That is mostly what is being promoted lately. Some people who care about our planet really gives the effort to go green in a way where they buy hybrid car or building an eco-friendly home. For those who generate their own energy through solar, wind or geothermal, I've seen many houses like this on HGTV, you better check your local insurers to avail with the green home insurance policy that cover your home and even your hybrid car! It will also pay an extra 2% to 3% to rebuild with sustainable materials. This might be something you'd be interested to look at!

Whew! What A Relief!

2008-04-30T20:35:00.003-06:00

I was really worried for Jessica. I have had some potty issues with her. Long ago, she always have an accident because she was either too busy playing or wasn't interested to go potty when she was having so much fun! Then last month I struggle with her on how she cleans herself. She doesn't really target where she needs to clean and that's the reason why she can't keep her undies clean. Then last week, I noticed that she've been using a lot of undies lately and all were so dirty then I thought she just wouldn't sit down patiently to wait until she's done so, that's why she keeps doing it several times a day. Now, last Friday that's when things went to the worst! She was really changing many many times and I keep cleaning her many many times and it's been going on for 6days!!! UNTIL today, when I let her stayed in the bathroom for long so she won't have to run and not make it coz I thought she has a diarrhea...I gave her some things to play with inside the bathroom so, she'll stay and asked her to sit in the toilet if she feels it. Then after about 2 times she did little by little which was what's been happening all week, I heard her scream "mommy, I finally pooped!" So, I ran and try to clean her again but I was so shocked to see a HUGE thing in the toilet! Oh boy! I couldn't believe it! That made me realized she was constipated. Poor girl! No wonder why she can't control her bowel movement and she has to do it many times in one day...After that, she stayed clean for 4hrs now and hopefully tom. she'll stay like this...I can tell she's really happy and I am too!

She's Ready For Chores!

2008-04-30T20:10:00.004-06:00

My eldest that is! She is 5 and a half years old and hubby believes it's the right time to give her chores and learn some responsibilities. At tender young age like that, he thinks it is the best time to engrave it in their minds and behavior and I think this is right too! As long as the chore is something attainable for their certain age. We ask my eldest to tidy up her room and toy room even sometimes our kitchen is something that she can clean up! My youngest who's 2 and a half can be trusted to pick up her toys after playing if I ask her to. Just putting away stuff is already a great way for her to learn some chores. The best way really is to have a chore chart and thank goodness for chorecharts.com who offers a free printable chore charts where you can download it online and no need to pay and spend some money for that! A chore chart can help you organize a calendar-based chore list so, this is really something worth checking out to all parents out there!

When Is The Final Move?

2008-04-28T07:17:00.002-06:00

I don't know either! Even if we have our farm place now, I am still unsure when is the exact date that we are moving. Everything really has to be in place before we can start the move. That farm house needs a lot of cleaning to do inside and out. Last weekend, we did everything we can and accomplished quite a lot! I scrubbed all the carpets and the toilet and hubby worked outdoors to burn stuff and clean up the yard to make it safe for the kids. He still needs to fix the pipes and toilet in the ground floor. If that house is clean enough to live in, then we need to start packing and have moving boxes ready! By then, we have to clean up this house too for sale and hubby's idea to have carpets replaced and walls painted by the time we are out here is the way to go! Hopefully, we can sell this place as soon as possible to start with our renovation at the farm house. I really can't wait to improve that place. I know it takes time but I am so impatient when it comes to that.hehehe!

Home Security

2008-04-28T07:08:00.002-06:00

The first time I saw our farm place, I'm kinda hesitant to live there. The fact that the house is located away from the street, makes me uncomfortable! Growing up in the suburbs where I can see houses nearby and people walking down the street, that's really my comfort zone but by being here, it's very different and I've adjusted well and now moving to a little bit isolated at the country, I think I have a lot of fears to overcome! I don't like the fact that all I see are trees around but I know our neighbors is just across the street and people in the farm are quite friendly and they are more helpful to their neighbors unlike here, you only wave hi-hello! I guess I just need more time to adjust but I told hubby that I'll be more at ease if we have some home security products like what ademco is selling! That's one of our priorities there and it's nice having that in your home to have a peace of mind and feel safe!

Lovin' Their Bikes!

2008-04-28T06:44:00.005-06:00

We got Jessica her 1st real bike last Christmas but she has no place to ride it since it was still winter time but now that it's warm enough outdoors, she always love riding it! Even our little Katie got her own too {passed from her sister}. It's quite funny when Katie tries to ride her bike...since she cannot reach the pedal, she just ride it like flinstones with her 2 feet!LoL! They really have a great time with their bikes and even at the farm, when we go up there, we always try to bring both!

Oh Boy!

2008-04-24T20:40:00.003-06:00

That's what my reaction was when I went upstairs and heard the bathroom faucet was on! I knew my daughter is up to something, something that she shouldn't be doing and there she was, playing with water and soap! It's tough when they already know how to open the faucet and I cannot always keep an eye on them so, I just try to check in when it's very quiet and they aren't bothering me at all. That means they are busy doing something! Well, at least they didn't fill the tub with water.

Sleepover at the Farm

2008-04-24T20:32:00.003-06:00

We are going to spend a night at the farm tom. and we'll be working at the house with ma-in-law by Saturday. Kids always love it whenever we come up there! No, not the work part, all they do is play of course! They ride their bicycles, play in the sand box and run around. So many things to explore for them and just half a day, they end up getting so messy! Good thing that house got their shower faucets working so I can always give the kids a shower! And so for them to get dirty again, LoL!

Problems with My Tires!

2008-04-21T11:12:00.003-06:00

Gas now is getting very expensive and I've noticed that a 5 gallon of gas doesn't get me that far. Well, aside from the high cost of it, hubby just found out that I have some problems with my tires at the front. When he was driving my van last week, he knew immediately there was something wrong. No wonder why it's taking so much of my gas! He just told me how lucky I am that the tires didn't blow up on me! That would be horrible! He is always worried for me whenever I'm on the road and getting an online auto insurance is the least thing he could do to make sure I'll be fine in case I got into an accident {which I hope I'd never get into}. He would give me helpful tips like hours when I should avoid the road and streets where it's safer to drive because he knows he couldn't stop me if I want to go somewhere. Now, we have to drive my van to get it fixed. Probably tom. morning since I was so lazy to get up this morning,hehehe!
